    Just sat down and tried doing 4 surveys I'd been sent but 3 of them didn't want me :o the fourth one was worth points but was equivalent to about £1.30 ;) I also have got 10 piggypoints today :D

    Am just doing ds bath but am gonna sit down tonight and have a look at the Weightwatchers website ... I've followed their plans before and at the moment I can't realistically get to a class so the online wasy may be an option. I need to do something as my belly is revolting :o:o I might try and knock up a few charts and get some motivation to approach it like the mortgage ;) No harm in setting myself a few more goals is there :rolleyes: :D:D

    I just sent a rather huffy email to M&S ... I sent them one before xmas about the order I did that they cancelled about 3 days before xmas but they haven't replied :mad: Anyway, part of my xmas day order arrived last week and 2 bits were missing so I emailed them to see if they were out of stock or coming later and got a reply 3 days ago to say they were being dispatched this week and I would recieve them. Today I got another email to say one of the items has gone out of stock and the other was sent with the rest of the order :eek: :eek: and to reassure me I ouldn't be charged for the item thats out of stock.

    I sent a polite but fed up email back asking:
    • why did i not get a reply to the cardigan email before xmas?
    • why did they say last week it was being dispatched this week?
    • why did they now say I already recieved one of the items when it wasn't in the box, wasn't on the invoice and last week they said it would be dispatched this week?
    • thanks for the reassurance that you aren't going to charge me but you already took the money out of my account 2 weeks ago
    :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Will keep you all updated as to the repsonse :rolleyes:

    I got a letter from the bank today thanking me for my overpayment and telling me that my mortgage now will end on XX/XX/XX and the term has been reduced by XX months and XX years :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Thats a bloody useful letter isn't it!! I rang them up but they sid they'll have to look into it and send out a new letter :rolleyes: :D
